Case Study: Hastings Public Schools achieves streamlined asset tracking and major time savings with Asset Panda

Asset Tracking For School District Campuses

Hastings Public Schools’ IT/Tech department was tracking computer equipment across eight campuses with separate Excel spreadsheets, which led to missing or incorrect serial numbers, unreliable check-in/check-out records, and poor audit reconciliation. They needed a centralized, accountable system to manage laptops, projectors and other assets district-wide.

Implementing Asset Panda centralized inventory management, added barcode-based check-in/check-out for fast deployment of 1,000+ student laptops, and enabled custom fields and real-time reporting to track maintenance, location and asset lifecycles. The result was major time savings, improved accuracy and accountability across campuses, smoother audits, and strong vendor support during rollout.
